28 weeks, Hello 3RD Trimester!

Hey All! We are in the last trimester, wohooo! We are feeling awesome, actually we are really exhausted. We have been working on Brian's house non stop. I even took off a day of work this week to hit it hard. I spent 9 hours, cleaning, packing, throwing away stuff. I think I over did it. I was so sore the next day and have now been getting Braxton Hicks contractions. But hey that's okay we got so much done and it was well worth it! Brian has been working non stop on his house. Between his full time job and part time job that's all he does. He can obviously do a lot more than I can as far as move lots of the big heavy stuff, so keep up the good work babe, we are almost done! It's sure coming along and we are working all week this week on it as well.  Woohoo we can't wait to have it finished.

I have been working on our entry way table this week. This is a piece my mom got for our wedding. She found it on the side of the curb, yup another free one! Gotta love it. We used it for our Photo Booth. It was used to hold all our cute props. It was a minty green when we got it and we left it that color for the wedding. It was super cute. I posted pictures to my Facebook of me painting it gray, and then distressing it. Here is the final product, I'M OBSESSED!

Isn't she beautiful! Ahhhh I love it. I will say the pictures don't do this thing justice. All the detail looks amazing in person. I am even slightly obsessed with how well this turned out, that we might be doing the two dressers for the nursery with this color. It goes really well with the carpet, room color and our crib is a dark espresso color. PERFECT! We will see. Once we are done with Brian's house within the next week we will move our focus back to the nursery!

Teal Armoire finished & moved in!

This week we got our new piece of furniture moved into our kitchen, HORRAY! My mother and I worked on this piece together. She got it for free on the side of the road about a year ago. It's a huge piece that is nice and sturdy. It was originally an oak color. She then primed it white. Her and I painted it two coats with a teal paint. Then we sanded/distressed the crap out of this thing. Last we stained it with a dark dark dark wood stain. It turned out PERFECT! It only cost me a total of $23.00 for the paint and stain. AMAZING! This piece of furniture has lots of storage and will be used for baby items. Here she is, isn't she lovely?

While I was taking picture of this lovely piece I took some other pictures of our new carpet. Take a peek. I am in the process of redecorating so stay tuned for more updated pictures of the decor. The pictures really do not do the carpet justice. It's soooo shaggy and sooo cozy! But you will get the idea.

New Trunk & it's ..... ORANGE!

So my mom and I are obsessed with First Fridays downtown. There are so many amazing vintage/antique vendors. We spotted this orange trunk last month. It was a great price at $45. It's was HUGE too. I decided to not get it because I couldn't justify at the time where it would go in our house. Well you know me I kept thinking about it the past month and then told my mom that if it was there this month then I would have to get it. I decided that it can either go upstairs in the hallway and replace my wicker chest or it can go in my cluttered craft room to help store all my fabrics and such. Sure enough we get there early Saturday morning and it's STILL there. I think the only reason why it was still there was because it had soooo much clutter stacked on top of it and you really couldn't see it. So we moved all the items off of it to take a better look. This puppy was still $45. It has a removable drawer, it's huge, not rusted, no metal sticking out, wheels on the bottom and it's ORANGE. My favorite color!!! My mom practically yelled at the lady to say that WE WANTED IT!! It's an early Birthday present for me, Thanks mama!! Sure enough as we kept looking around a million people kept going up to it because you could finally see it now that it had all the clutter off of it. We decided to hurry up and pay for this puppy and get it HOME! We didn't want anyone else trying to take it. It was that good of a deal. Anyways enough talking.... Here are some pictures. They really don't even do it justice. But ahhhhh I can't wait to get it up stairs!! :)

Ta Da!!
